Acute Radiation Syndrome (Maximum Levels) Lyrics

Acute radiation syndrome occurs

If a person is exposed

To more than 700 milli-gray

Of absorbed radiation

Within a short period of time

Usually, minutes

Common Acute radiation syndrome symptoms

Include nausea vomiting headaches burns and fever

Radiation doses between

4000 and 5000 milli-gray

Within a short period

Would kill 50% of those exposed

The firefighters who died

After attending the incident

Were exposed to up to 20,000 milli-gray

Of absorbed radiation
